I upgraded to latest Webmin after I got latest clamav, and now I get this when I click on the clamav module:

WARNING: Please fill in the location of the secondary signatures database (should be daily.cvd (version < 0.90) or daily.info (version >= 0.90)) in the module's configuration.

I don't really understand what daily.info is. And I get this error whether I specify daily.cvd or daily.info.

Could someone explain what's going on here? I know some aren't fans of Webmin, but now that I see this error, I want to fix it and understand the differences between these files! Thanks - John

clamav 0.90 and newer use a directory named daily.info for updates rather than a file named daily.cvd. This allows incremental updates rather than transferring the entire daily.cvd file each time there is a change.

Apparently webmin wants the path to the daily.info directory, probably something like /var/db/clamav/daily.info

Thanks. I have /var/lib/clamav/daily.inc instead of daily.info. I'm concerned that I have parts of 2 installs...? I use debian stable and clamav was installed using apt-get. However, against my better judgment, I used the webmin upgrade module to update clamav. If someone would just finish this off by telling me what daily.inc is (it looks like your description of daily.info but not named that), I'll drop this thread from this list. Thanks again. - John

Problem solved - I used apt-get to UNinstall webmin and then did a fresh webmin install using the deb pkg from the webmin site. All is well now using the path /var/lib/clamav/daily.inc/daily.info

Also, I didn't use webmin to upgrade clamav - I used webmin to upgrade webmin! SRI bandwidth! - John
